About Baba Siddique’s murder

NCP leader Baba Siddique was shot dead on the night of October 12 outside his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area. Two of the shooters were subsequently arrested. More persons were held on Friday for allegedly providing firearms and logistical support to the shooters in the Baba Siddique murder case, a Mumbai police official said, taking the total number of arrests in the sensational case to nine.
